Sales up 42.6% to $415.0 million in Q4 and up 21.0% to $1,448.3 million for 2017 due to the Parts Alliance and other acquisitions combined with organic sales growth in the Canadian and UK operations;

Network of 447 locations, up 188 in 2017 from 10 business acquisitions and 6 greenfields; and

Free cash flow (1) of $16.9 million in Q4 and $95.7 million for 2017.

Boucherville (Québec), February 20, 2018 – Uni-Select Inc. (TSX:UNS) today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and the year ended December 31, 2017.

“Our fourth quarter performance was mixed. While our consolidated sales and adjusted EBITDA increased by 42.6% and 10.4% respectively, mainly driven by acquisitions, we continued to work through some challenges at FinishMaster US. This segment was impacted by the residual effect of the product line changeover,
severance related to the 20/20 initiative and other elements. Conversely, our Canadian business performed well with continued sales and margin improvement, driven by solid organic sales growth (1) and the contribution of recent acquisitions. Finally, as expected, our newly-acquired UK operations had a seasonally slow quarter, however, delivered robust organic sales growth and also implemented the 20/20 initiative as planned,” commented Henry Buckley, President and Chief Executive Officer of Uni-Select.
